Improvement in Traffic Flow and Safety for Pedestrians in Dar es Salaam

TLDR

• Service lanes along major roads in Dar es Salaam have been cleared of most lorries, improving traffic flow and pedestrian access.
• This change follows a directive from Dar es Salaam Regional Commissioner Albert Chalamila to remove illegally parked lorries from service roads.
• The directive was issued after an ultimatum for cargo truck operators to remove their vehicles expired last week.
• Areas along Mandela Road, including Ubungo and Buguruni, are now largely free of lorries, enhancing safety for pedestrians.
• Residents have welcomed the changes, noting that the removal of lorries has made it safer to walk in previously congested areas.
